As a husband, I support health care reform because my 26-year-old wife was denied health insurance coverage because of childhood operations.
As a friend, I support health care reform because I have friends who have had to gamble with their lives and their livelihoods because they could not afford health insurance.
As an American, I support health care reform because I value life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick.
Will you join me in working to ensure that quality and affordable health care will be an option not just for some but for all of God's children?

ACT: You can write a letter too. It's easy. Just go to this website to get started. You can find your local paper, see a list of talking points, and write your letter all in one spot.
While you're letter no longer has a link that's available online, I'm sure it was a good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and being honest. I think more and more people need to be thinking with the clarity that comes from Christ-like character and love.
